I don't agree with that. I think mass incarceration, private prison abuse, and other CJ overreaching from the '90s are now widely seen as a huge mistake and a grave injustice. Trump's base is maybe the only group that still likes that stuff.
That injustice is really only on the Left though. Biden is never going to get the Trump base, but, anyone that is center Right might swing. Like I said though, if Biden can get through to get the nomination, it will be a net benefit. At that point, the Left is going to vote for Biden to stop Trump.
I have to imagine that to beat Trump is far easier than when Hillary tried it. If her record on this did not stop her, I would bet it alone would not stop Biden.
